BISHOP’S WARNING
WOMEN AND THE CHURCH. MAY GUST THE CLERGY. LONDON, June 3. “We are on a slippery slope and »hould learn a lesson from, experience in secular matters,” said the Bishop of Durham, Dr. Hensley Henson, in addressing the Convocation of Canterbury on the position of deaconesses in the Church. There was no sphere of the public service, Dr. Henson added, into which women were not pressing, and the mas® of English church people did not realise what was on the way. If the diaconate were given to women, it would probably be the preliminary to their admission to the priesthood, even to th«episcopate. The Bishop of Manchester, Dr. Warman, said women had contributed, with the greatest advantage, to the common weal. Convocation approved the appointment of a committee to consider the question.
